Notes: Label source: Roots from trees planted round the XII Dynasty Pyramid at Lahun. Root from box of roots and stems ? not Saluadora pessica (?) root, but it appears likely that it may be the root of Zizyphus spina-christi. I have not seen the root of this sp, ecies but only the wood of the stem. From LA Boodle Sept. 1935.
